They are a "filler" that occupies some of the space behind the impeller and in front of the bowl, For high-speed, race aplications thery help by "smoothing" the water flow and keeping it from swirling in the opening behind the impeller. In most lake-boat aplications, any improvement is minimal, if it is even noticable.
